Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 gets a bad wrap from a lot of Internet users, who prefer to use browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox or Opera. Although this is commonly portrayed by a lot of users, Microsoft Edge is actually a very good, fast, secure, reliable Internet browser, with a few interesting features that are often overlooked.

One such feature is Edges ability to set aside entire groups of active tabs, which can easily be opened at a later time. If you haven’t been using this feature, you’re missing out, as it’s a great way to quickly switch between personal and profession operations and is far quicker than switching user profiles on Google Chrome.
